I like both of these trades. If not I would like to see Amen take Jabari’s starting spot.
I’m good with moving Jabari
@JTGatlin Man I'm so glad you said it about these secret agenda trades these other people be trying to put out there for our players, that be making No sense. Like we're going to give our future For Nothin they, Daryl Morey not in office anymore..
Don’t trade Jabari! Period!
Most of them content creators don’t even watch the games, they just want views. That’s why no one listens to them
I’d give Jabari 5 more games to show something then we can talk about benching or trading
Trade Fred,Brooks and Jabari and picks for a star!!
We need to look at a new shooting coach
And we need to look at our offense it’s horrible
2 players I was looking at was Ochai Agbaji and Corey Kispert, or a last choice maybe Royce O’Neale
We don't need to trade no dam body. Let these young guys play and continue to grow together. If anything we need a new dam couch, there is no need for cam to be playing in the G League right now. He should be on that court every night with the rest of the young guys playing and developing!!!
Good pod Jackson. while I do believe Jabari needs to be replaced in the starting lineup, I don't believe the Rockets should over react and trade anyone at this point. we need to get Cam back from the G league and get him some minutes.If we trade it has to be for a impact player not a band-aid
I still believe Bari can turn it around this season
I think Jabari does good at the 5
I forgot we had Tate
Back to the jabari Smith Jr you guys just need to relax these are kids growing up in front of our very eyes trying to pick an apple before it's ripe and fully developed calm down I've seen many players in the NBA go through slumps cam Johnson is a great shooter but when jabari grows into who he is as a player don't say I didn't tell you so don't give me a like because you know I'm right give me a like because you know I know you wrong
Jabari hasn’t been good but trading him and Adams for Cam Johnson is just bad value. I don’t like the idea of us trading for any kind of a role player. I know not everyone is with me on this one but I’d trade Fred + 2 firsts for Harden if Clippers were to trade him. We desperately need someone who can actually find open guys behind the arc. It makes me so mad seeing so many open 3s not being shot because of the lack of vision from our ball handlers. Reed is the only one who can find those right passes but he’s also the only shooter in this team so nobody is there to find him when he’s openðŸ˜.
Cam Jonson is no better than Jabari. Not now and not in the future
Build the team around Terror Triplets: Tari Amen Alpy!!! We need to go after a PG who can shoot. Possibly, Booker or Lillard. Imagine Devin, Jalen, Amen, Tari, Alpi.
But I love Cam Johnson idea.
If they wanted to trade for a shooter they should have done it last season. I wanted them to go get Caruso. Now unless it is just vets it would be a mismanagement of resources. And people turning on jabari is ridiculous too. People still don't seem to understand development.
Go Rockets!!!
I say we keep Jabari, offer him a fair but affordable contract extension alongside Tari to where both are within the 15-25 mil range per season and capitalize on Jabari not having the best year 3 (assuming he plays similarly). Hopefully then we keep for fair price and pray he pans out into his extension years lol
Add not some but lots of shooting. The current team cannot shoot at all for the time being. Get Duncan Robinson; perhaps the Rockets' current shooters learn something from him while getting great benefits from his shooting.
My concern is we trade for shooters but the coaching staff wouldn't be able to maximize/utilize them.
